Well, I can't say with certainty since I cannot feel her, but I doubt a 10 was needed on her mats and I hope they didn't use a 10! That could contribute to her itching...some dogs don't do well with super short clips. She's a cutie though, and I'm glad your groomer could salvage some of her coat and keep her the way you wanted! If you have more questions, feel free to ask us.

She's pretty pink, and some parts of her body is just skin, so they may have been a bit excessive. Her itching has gone down thankfully. Thank you and I'm really glad to as I was dreading the reveal, lol. You're awesome for all the help you gave me!

Sarah, good thinking about the pom-poms and the fluffy tk and ears...it makes a dog look stylish even with a very short clip. She is a real cutie! Oh and Mom24, just looked at the photo of your dogs and finally realized what an ACD is....in another thread you mentioned he's 14 years old and I was thinking, ACD, ACD...what is that breed? ha,ha!

Thanks I got quite a few compliments while shopping with her after she got shaved.

Karat is going through coat change and gets mats behind her elbows and on her chest and neck. I use coconut oil (which is solid at room temperature) and rub it into the mat. Then I carefully heat the area with my hair dryer until the coconut oil gets liquid. It then acts as a super conditioner/detangler upon which you can use a poodle comb to comb out the matts. Its a very slow process but seems to help. Karat needs to be brushed and combed daily to assure no mats. This trick, I learned from a gal who is of african desent. She has very curly kinky hair and this is what she, and others of her race, have done for years to get the tangles out. Hope this helps you. It worked for me.

Her trim is very cute. You might always have problems with her matting easily because she is a poodle mix. When you combine the two types of coats, they matt. Many doodles matt horribly. Take heart because you should be able to maintain her cute cut, although brushing fuzzy feet can be challenging. I am glad you are happy with her new look!
